Safety
Attachments
Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment could re-
sult in death or serious injury. Attachments not locked into
place can become unstable and fall on the operator or other
personnel near the telehandler.
•
Make sure attachment locking devices are always in
place.
•
Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic
pressure rating. The maximum pressure of each
auxiliary circuit can be set on the proportional valve
from 725 psi to the maximum system pressure of 3,200
psi (the factory setting is 3,200 psi). Exceeding the
pressure rating of the attachment by failing to adjust
the auxiliary pressure setting, or provide external
pressure control, could result in death or serious injury.
•
Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight (if
equipped).
Shut Down Procedure
Warning
To prevent death or serious injury, follow these procedures
before leaving the telehandler cab:
•
Park telehandler on a firm, level surface.
•
Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).
•
Set parking brake to ON (engaged).
•
Either lower forks and attachments to the ground, or
leave boom raised and retracted.
Always engage the parking
brake before leaving the tele-
handler. The telehandler can
roll if the parking brake is not
ON (engaged), which could re-
sult in death, serious injury, or property damage.
•
Turn Ignition switch to the OFF position.
•
Remove the key.
•
Unbuckle the seat belt.
•
Place “Do Not Operate” tags on the Starter switch and
steering wheel when maintenance or service is required.
•
Block wheels when maintenance is required.
Telehandler Maintenance
Warning
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper
maintenance to make sure the telehandler continues to meet
manufacturer’s specifications. Failure to properly maintain
the telehandler can result in improper performance, which
could cause death, serious injury, or property damage.
Attach “Do Not Operate” tags to the Ignition
switch and steering wheel before beginning
any service or maintenance.
•
“Do Not Operate” tags indicate the telehandler should
not be operated until all service or maintenance is
completed.
•
Keep two (2) legible “Do Not Operate” tags with the
telehandler at all times. “Do Not Operate” tags are pro-
vided in this manual.
•
DO NOT operate the telehandler and attachments if
they require repairs.
•
Make sure basic maintenance is completed and service
problems are corrected.
•
Death or serious injury can result from operating a tele-
handler before all repairs have been made and all prop-
er maintenance is completed.
Check hydraulic oil lines, tubes,
and hoses carefully. DO NOT
use your bare hand to check for
leaks. Always use a board or
cardboard when checking for
a hydraulic leak. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure,
even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, which
could cause death or serious injury. If hydraulic oil is inject-
ed into your skin, a doctor familiar with this type of injury
must treat it immediately.
Warning
Serious injury could result from
hydraulic oil pressure or hot
oil. DO NOT remove a hydrau-
lic tank filler cap unless it is
cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap slowly to relieve
pressure. Relieve all pressure in a hydraulic system before
any caps, lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected
or removed.
